Tutoring Approach

My approach to Chemistry tutoring starts with assessing each student’s unique goals, whether mastering difficult concepts, improving test-taking strategies, or excelling in coursework. Lessons are meticulously planned to address these needs while incorporating tools like interactive whiteboards and structured notes for clarity. Regular practice with past Chemistry papers and mock tests helps students familiarise themselves with exam formats and track progress.

Creating a positive learning environment is central to my teaching, encouraging students to ask questions and engage deeply with the subject. By fostering understanding and confidence, I empower students to excel in Chemistry and achieve their academic aspirations.

Testimonials

Rodrigo is amazing he took the time to review the material I sent him that I didn’t understand. To which he answered every single one and then explained it clearly to me. I 100%recommend him if you have a test the next day and have no idea what is going on. Trust me he literally explained 2 weeks of confusion in 1 hour. I feel ready to ace that test all thanks to Rodrigo!
